It's still there... "but wait... there's more!"

Enter Coach 1611 in eBay search window. There're two fake signature wallets. Then check Completed and look how many evil twins have been sold since August (I'm sure there were more, they just don't show anymore). And there's even more under the blue line that says More items related to coach 1611

Here's the question: is there any easy way to contact eBay fraud department about them ALL at once so that they inform all happy new owners one by one? I'm not sure reporting each single one would be productive - but if the FD can see the big picture, maybe they'd be more persistent in punishing the sellers of these fakes.

If there have ever been similar cases of selling massive amount of fake Coach items, how were they handled?

Ebay isn't interested in informing buyers about the fakes they have purchased. The message they send buyers when they remove an item never mentions that the item is fake. It says something like 'the item was removed because it violated our rules. If you have already paid, you should receive your item soon. If you have any problems with your purchase, you are protected by the ebay money back guarantee.' Ebay isn't dying to give back anyone's money.

I've noticed that if one seller posts many fakes, ebay is quicker to act, so if you can report all fake items for one seller at once, that will help. Lately I've noticed really obvious fakes aren't being removed, like this one:

seller: aprilsplace

This one is harder to spot but it has bids!

Thanks for the detailed explanation, Whateve. That's really sad, but from business point of view understandable. Still... on one side, eBay claims its firm stand against counterfeits, and on the other, it does very little to fix the situation with the sold fakes. Sad...
